Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces trout fillets
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 teaspoons lemon zest
- 2 cloves garlic
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon capers
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Pat the trout fillets dry with a paper towel and season them on both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, combine the lemon zest, minced garlic, finely chopped parsley, chopped dill, lemon juice, and capers. Mix well to make the gremolada topping.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place the trout fillets skin-side down in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
Flip the fillets carefully and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the fillets from the skillet and transfer them to a serving plate.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once melted, stir in the gremolada topping and cook for about 30 seconds, just to warm it slightly.
Spoon the warmed gremolada over the trout fillets, ensuring each fillet is generously coated.
Serve immediately with your choice of side dish, such as roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
